[comp.sys.sun] Parallel I/O HW

weber@uunet.uu.net (Jeff Weber) (09/26/89)

Does anyone out there in net.land know of/sell/use a Centronics parallel
(redundent I know) output board for VME bus?  I have a line on a few
vendors that have single output boards w/o Sun software but I'm hoping to
do better.

	"Better" would be:

	* 2 or more Centronics output ports (I know about the ALM-II)
	* 6u form factor desired (9u would be ok)
	* Sun 4.0.X software drivers a plus
	* Will run on Sun SPARCStation 330/370/390
	* Do not need any serial ports
	* Buffering a plus

What's it used for?  Outputing large (50MB+) files to a Adobe Postscript
RIP.  Serial is a joke and there's no E-net on the RIP.
